This year, too, the German champion in the team competition of the Degenfechterinnen from Leverkusen comes. Finalbütant Frankfurt was careful.
The Degen fencers of TSV Bayer Leverkusen successfully defended their German championship title as part of the finals in Dresden. The trio with potter Alexandra Ndolo, Fiona Müller and Laura Katalin Wetzker ultimately prevailed confidently against Eintracht Frankfurt (Anna Jonas, Cagla Aytekin, Eda Cevikol, Matilda Kunisch) on Friday (01.08.2025). 45:33 was called nine battles for the favorites. Outsider Frankfurt was able to comfort itself with the first medal at the German Championships.
Ndolo puts Leverkusen in the lead
In contrast to the foil and saber, the sword can score points anywhere on the body. In addition, double hits can be educated and both athletes score at the same time. This is also why the style has a little more duel character, which the teams from Leverkusen and Frankfurt showed on the 14 meter long fencing. In the first duel, Frankfurt still had easy advantages, Leverkusen’s Ndolo, individual champion from the previous year, took care of a first lead that her teammates were able to further expand after four of a total of nine battles (20:14).
Nevertheless, the Hessians were allowed to take hope, which was particularly thanks to Aytekin, who was repeatedly risked in her duel against Müller and was rewarded for it. The deficit melts on three points (22:25). Afterwards it was also close to the planche, but Leverkusen claimed the lead and was able to prelude to 35:28 by the Wetzker, which was repeated again and again in the penultimate duel. At the end of Aytekin, Ndolo did not burn anything.
